Twentieth Century Fox Television, Inc. (also spelled
20th Century Fox Television) is the television production division of
20th Century Fox Film Corporation, and a production arm of the
Fox Broadcasting Company (both are subsidiaries of the
Fox Entertainment Group, in turn part of
Rupert Murdoch's
News Corporation).
Twentieth Television (also spelled
20th Television) is a separate
distribution arm overseen by News Corp.'s
Fox Television Stations Group, although it uses a variant of the film studio logo.
20th Century Fox Television was founded in 1949 as other studios were branching out into television production as well. At that time, the company was known as
TCF Television Productions, Inc. until 1955. TCFTV folded the operations of TV production companies they've acquired:
Metromedia Producers Corporation in 1986,
New World Entertainment in 1997, and
MTM Enterprises in 1998, and is the current distributor for most of the shows originally produced by these companies.
Since 1986, TCFTV has served as the Fox
television network's unofficial production arm (with
Fox Television Studios being viewed as the network's official television production division), producing the bulk of
television series airing on the
television network. Twentieth Television produced the first two series that aired on Fox's sister network,
MyNetworkTV:
Desire and
Fashion House.
